U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Expects the Infrastructure Bill to Pass

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi eyes the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill for Thursday and expects the bill to pass.

On Sunday, the 52nd Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi spoke about the infrastructure bill. She said that the bill, which is supposed to help fund bridges, road, airport, school, and other projects, will start on Monday.

According to reports, Pelosi has not yet set a date to vote for the $3.5 trillion social welfare and climate bill. Not to mention that the bill has divided her fellow Democrats, and it is still under negotiation.

In a letter to Democrats that her office released, Pelosi said,

Tomorrow, September 27, we will begin debate on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework on the Floor of the House and vote on it on Thursday, September 30, the day on which the surface transportation authorization expires.

Note that on Sunday, she noted that she would not bring the infrastructure bill to a vote unless she was sure it would pass but expressed confidence about its prospects.

For instance, in the case of the bill that concerns the crypto community, the lone objection of Alaman Senator Richard Shelby stopped the amendment from being added to the legislation.

However, the bill faces opposition from some House Speakers who think it should be kept back until negotiations end about the follow-up $3.5 trillion social welfare and climate bill.
